Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study explores the intricate nature of the teaching methods and instructional strategy in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) utilized by teachers in selected higher education institutions in the Philippines. Through purposive sampling, the study includes 41 OOP teachers and offers an inquiry into their pedagogical approaches and strategies for instructing OOP to their students. The study also takes into account the resources and project requirements in OOP through an online survey. The study also looks at the student difficulties observed by the teachers while teaching OOP course. The data analysis utilized are descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences and Google Colaboratory. The findings show that there is a wide range of instructional approaches, from conventional lectures to practical coding exercises. The results emphasize that hands-on coding is the preferred teaching method while giving hands-on activities is the preferred instructional strategy to develop and challenge the students’ programming ability, both received an outstanding 100% response. The Spearman correlation between the used teaching methods and instructional strategies, rho (ρ) of 0.42, p < 0.05, indicating a significant moderate positive relationship, suggesting that educators who utilized varied teaching methods also tend to use more instructional strategy in their teaching practices. Given the dynamic nature of programming paradigms and the wide range of student aptitudes, a customized approach to OOP teaching is necessary. The study provides practical insights to increase teaching effectiveness by highlighting important areas in the pedagogical environment that require adjustment. The study's findings have global significance in the rapidly evolving field of computer science and information technology education.
